CSK vs MI IPL 2025: Dream11 Top Captain & Vice-Captain Picks
CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Top 3 Captain & Vice-Captain Picks for IPL 2025 Match 3
As the 18th edition of the IPL unfolds, all eyes are on the clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) this Sunday, March 23, at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK will enjoy the home advantage with a strong batting lineup and a well-rounded spin attack, while MI, missing captain Hardik Pandya, will rely on stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav to steer them clear of an early setback.
For fantasy players looking to maximize points, here are the three top choices for captain or vice-captain roles:
3. Noor Ahmed
The Afghan spinner, a recent addition to CSK, bolsters their already formidable spin department. Known for his knack for taking crucial wickets in T20 cricket, Noor’s performance in international leagues—taking 89 wickets at an impressive average—makes him a solid pick in shorter formats.
2. Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma is expected to be pivotal for MI, especially on an away pitch. With an outstanding run tally in recent T20 tournaments, his contributions for both his domestic team and India in T20Is have been remarkable. Varma’s consistency and ability to counter spin make him a key asset when MI look to wrest control of the match.
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad
The ever-reliable Ruturaj Gaikwad stands out as the best fantasy option. His performances at Chepauk have been exceptional, with stellar averages and multiple high-scoring innings last season, including a century. Gaikwad’s consistency makes him an ideal candidate for both captain and vice-captain roles.
With these picks in mind, fantasy managers can head into the match with a strong strategy for this highly anticipated encounter.
